Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia

Past

• Comparision of cis-atracurium and vecuronium in infants after heart surgery
• Influence of modified ultrafiltration on TEG parameters

Current

• Retrospective analysis of perioperative factors associated with early extubation
• Retrospective analysis of respiratory complications associated with early extubation 
• Pain management in fast track pediatric cardiac anesthesia o Prospective randomized study to determine the optimal dose of caudal morphine for pain relief after cardiac surgery 
• Prospective study on predictive value of oximetry indices in multiple organ-sites following pediatric cardiac surgery

Future

• Influence of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) on platelet function 
• Prospective multicenter observational study on factors associated with early extubation after pediatric cardiac surgery
